Reply to Vicious dog attack on Ring Street today? by scoutydouty
Call animal control and have them pay the owner a visit. They have the ability to fine and I believe also charge people? Worth a call!! Even if you’re only a witness you can report it.
“you suspect an animal is being abused or neglected, please contact your local Animal Control or the Rhode Island Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Animals' (RISPCA) Humane Law Enforcement Department at 401-438-8150 ext. 3 or email cruelty@rispca.com”. I think letting a dog be free like that and in a position to harm someone counts as cruelty.

Which is not what anyone is actually saying here. Build units here but take the vanity project tax sucking luxury part of it. There’s better ideas for that would house more actual people who need It here than providences take on Gherkin building.

This! Esp re biding time with a roommate. Rents are nuts right now. And your share of utils is quite low (assuming it’s gas and electric? What about internet is that separate?).

It should be local transportation not relying on an underfunded national rail line that coincidentally kinda works our schedule wise sometimes.

It’s just ridiculous it takes as long as it does to get downtown to downtown. It’s what 40 miles? 45?

Reply to Cost to convert oil to gas? by EmperorMing101
We got ours financed at zero% through national grid at the time. With the move towards heat pumps you might be better off looking at that too. And the time it was 12k to do the two boilers and remove the oil tanks. But this was 10 years ago so $$ will be different.

The pez museum in CT is fun believe it or not - a quick one but if you need a half hour of kids getting their yayas out on the home stretch. We did in on the way back from OBX. Altho your kids are young enough they might just sack out? Never been to Hershey park but hear it’s fun. Isn’t there a Lego land near there too? (Never been).

It’s apples and oranges. Somerville alone is half the population of the entire city of providence. People pay 3-4k easily for comparable apartments in the ville these days.

Pawtucket just by the border of lippit park / oak hill yes? It’s cheaper but not that much cheaper. East side is closer to Brookline / sville / Watertown vibe (pre t extension!). Public transport isn’t great (t is better even tho the t is still lacking in context).

So they wanted a check before you said yes please let me sign a lease? Sure it’s not the deposit? So you want the place yes? If you toured and want it and want them to take it off the market taking a deposit isn’t weird. Then when you actually sign lease after you’ve read it and first months rent gets paid…. Are they suggesting first months and deposit before signing?

A security deposit before you’ve even applied/ seen it? Seems odd, what agency?

I’ve seen a guy who rides with two (boxers I think?). The dogs run well but I too always feel like I’m about to see a horrible accident with the way people drive on Hope. Maybe he’s gotten a third dog since the summer?
